This invention relates to improvements in amusement devices,and anobject of the invention is to provide a iorm'of disguise, moreparticularly for theeyes, to entirely 5 change the character of theface, which will provide a startling change in the appearance but WhiChwill -permitthe wearer t0 at the same time readily sec his way about. Afurther object of the invention 1s to pro- 1 vide a disguise of verysimple character which will efi'ect a complete change in ap-- "pearancebut will obviate the use of masks and the like which have a tendency tocarry germs, impede breathing, and are generally 0 uncomfortable.

A fu'rther object of the invent1onas t0 provide a device ofthischaiacter which may be very cheaply manufactured and plaoedon themarket at a very low cost.

VVith these and other objects in view the invention consists essentiallyof an eyeglass or pair of spectacles adapted to carry the representationof an eye in the form of an eyehall of a human or animal, ither rigidlyor 30 movably fixed to the eye-piece of the article,

01 carried within the rim of the eyeglass or spectacle, but in such amanner as to provide a clear space for vision around the major portionof the article and yet conceal the natural eye 015 the wearer, as morefully described in the present specification and illustrated in theaccompanying drawing which forms part of the same.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is an elevation of a pair of spectaclesshowingthe attachment applied thereto in normal position.

Figure 2 is a section through one of the 45 eyeglasses showingthepreferred form of the attachment and its relation to the eye-piece.

Figure 3 is an alternative form of the 111- vention illustrating onemanner in wh1ch the attachment could be adjustable.

50 Figure 4: is an elevation of the eye-piece desired.

showing the -adjusting slot used in the alternativeform of FigureReferr1ng more part1cularly to the drawmgs, 10 illustrates a pair ofspectacles formed With the usual nose piece 11 and side lugs 12 for thereception of the usual ear pieces attched in well-known manner formingas a whcle the spectacle trame. At any desi1able pointin the eye-piece14;, preferably centrallythrof, issecured the reprcsentation of an cye13 in the form of an eyeball of a human or animal, which Protrudesbeyond the eyepiece 14 and frame of the spectacles or eyo glass. Thisstructure will readily cnceal the natural eye ofthe wearer of thespectacle and yet through the portion of the eyepiece l4: not covered bythe eye-ball 13 will provide for clea1 vision on the part of the wearers0 chat hemay readily see his way about. Th attached eye halls 13 asmore particularly shown in Fig. 2, are preferably made as an artificialeye ont ofeye-piece 14:, which will produce a most startling change inthe appearance and in fact give the impression .that 1t 1s the naturalcye of the person in question. Howcver, it will be readily undex stoodthat this auxiliary eye hall may bu made from any other desirahlematerials which will produce a change of the charactcr It is within thescope of the invention that these auxiliary eye halls 13 may be mademovable in character and one manner of adjustmg these p1eces 1s1llusl:rated 1n F1gure 3 in which a slot 15 of any desirable characteris as provided in the eye-piece 14 of the spectacle or eyeglass andtheeye ball 13 is attached b v means of a small shank 16 and retainingpiece 17 onthe end of the shank so that this may be moved about tochange the impression given.

wearers appearmce, giving the impression NormaHy When the eye ball 13 ismerely a fixed eye hall as in the prferred form of the invention, theeye ball is attachedto' the e'ye-piec 14 by means of a suitable' cement. H0Wever if t is found desi1ab1e to use a differ ent type ofeyeball and avoid the use of glass in the spectacle it' Willbe readilyseen that the eye hall could be carried wthin the rim of the spectacleand used in the same manner as previously described in connection wt-hthe use oftheglass.

In use the Spectacles or eyeglass,. as the caseffl;ay}be, are donned bya person and the most startling change is ffected in the that the eyebal-1s 13-arc the natral 'eyes-of the wearer, and depexding upon thecharacter of the eye halls 13 the appearance-of the face may be variedas *to assume ziuhideous character' or humorous characr as des1red,
